It seems your router is assigning addresses within the same subnet as theirs. You can adjust this by switching to a different network, such as 10.0.0.0/24, or follow the advice given by @Blue4130. Disable the router's routing and DHCP functions so it only functions as a switch and access point. This way, you'll receive IP addresses from the upstream router you're connected to.
